February third is known as The Day The Music Died. It was on this date in 1959 that Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper all died in a plane crash. To memorialize the occasion, Blender Magaziner has published The Ten Worst Rock Star Plane Crashes. Just about every February third during my radio career, we played music by these artists plus Don McLean’s American Pie, which was about that day. Rockabilly music can be played on pop stations, oldies stations, and even country music stations. Although it was 48 years ago, those guys might still be around today if they hadn't taken that plane. Looking at the old films and remembering what stars they were, its hard to believe how very young they were when it happened. Buddy Holly was only 22. The Big Bopper was 28 . Richie Valens was a mere 17 years old.

THE FIGHT

(Thanks, Evajane!)
Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp. "What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.

"Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.

"That little shit, O 'Conner," says Sean, "He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."

"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."

"Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself; didn't you have something in your hand?"  

“That I did," said Paddy. "Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

Puns may be the lowest form of humor, but whats wrong with that? This t-shirt from NerdyShirts combines the Beatles with the Nintendo Wii. It just might bii a hit.
